Shout out to our server Eden. She was professional and patient with my fickle mind. I’m an Asian fusion snob but Jinya makes it to my list of to go. I’ve gone to a different location from a different city and this was a cozy place, I like it. Not too noisy crowd although we beat the long line! They give military discount but I think it was forgotten on our tab. We ordered the last Tuesday deal of the month and I’m glad we did! But I loved the appetizers—-forgive me for forgetting their official menu names—-shrimp tempura, squid balls and edamame. Love love the drinks. I had the Sakura and my bestie had the Peachtini now that was the highlight!

Came here for a friend’s birthday dinner, and overall the experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was lively, the menu had a great variety, and as a vegetarian, I really appreciated having multiple solid options to choose from, which isn’t always the case at many restaurants.
The Impossible Bun was delicious, and the Vegetarian Ramen was beautifully presented with a perfect balance of flavors. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Our waiter was fantastic, incredibly kind, attentive and even surprised our friend with a piece of Matcha Tiramisu for their birthday, which was such a sweet touch and really made the night feel special.
Unfortunately, the evening ended on an uncomfortable note. One of our friends ordered a cocktail with sake but couldn’t taste any alcohol, so they casually asked our waiter if it was the correct drink. The waiter confirmed it was, and we didn’t think much more of it. However, toward the end of the night, the manager approached our table unprompted and made a somewhat dismissive comment along the lines of, “Well, I made the drink, so I know it had alcohol in it. If you didn’t taste it, it’s because we mixed it well.” The tone felt unnecessarily sharp and caught us off guard, especially since we hadn’t escalated the situation or asked to speak with a manager.
It was disappointing because the rest of the evening had been so positive. The three-star service rating reflects that interaction specifically, our waiter, on the other hand, was excellent and made the majority of the experience memorable in a good way.
Overall, the food and atmosphere were great, and I hope that managements approach can match the quality of the rest of the experience in the future.

Jinyu Ramen Bar delivered a genuinely satisfying ramen experience overall. I ordered the spicy creamy ramen and asked to substitute tofu with chicken, and they were very accommodating — the swap worked beautifully. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and well-balanced, with a creamy heat that didn’t overpower the umami base. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into layering flavors rather than just relying on spice.
One thing that really stands out, and something echoed across many other reviews, is how good they are with add-ons, combinations, and customizations. Whether it’s protein swaps, spice levels, or extra toppings, they seem very open to tailoring bowls to individual preferences, which is a big plus for a ramen spot.
The only downside — and the reason this stays at four stars instead of five — is temperature. By the time I was only halfway through the bowl, the ramen had cooled more than expected. My recommendation would be to serve it extra hot. People coming specifically for ramen are already prepared to handle the heat, and keeping it hotter longer would really elevate the experience. (Maybe I will ask that explicitly next time.)
Overall, excellent flavors, thoughtful customization, and a solid ramen option at The Domain. With just a little more attention to serving temperature, this could easily be a five-star spot.
Edit : Wenr back today and the preparation was terrific. They also did a substitution I requested for and served the ramen extra hit !! I also signed up for membership and got a complimentary mochi ice cream.

Really really loved this place!!!! My daughter’s just got back from spending a month in Japan pretty recently and they were missing the food so we tried this place out. They said it was just as good as some of the places in Japan! ♥️ we really enjoyed it, And I also thought the cocktails were very reasonably priced. The hot sake was excellent, The fried rice was so so good, and whatever you do do not skip out on the dessert we had the Matcha tiramisu and it was unbelievable!!!! We will definitely be back and this will definitely be in our regular rotation.

Tried out the ramen spot since it always looks busy. We ordered the spicy tempura shrimp, chicken ramen, and a chicken rice bowl, along with the matcha lychee lemonade.
The presentation was on point, and service was quick. On the downside, the flavors didn’t quite live up to the hype, and it was pretty noisy inside. One unique touch I noticed is that the staff greets and cheers whenever a guest comes in or leaves.

I could pass on the shrimp Altho I did like it! But the meat was strange.
I absolutely LOVED THE chicken ramen (BUT with Clear chicken broth)
– no mushrooms, no egg, no nori & No Chicken!!
The chicken was disgusting.
But I loved the Broth, noodles (add bok choy! Add veggies, add broccoli) such good soup!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. First time here. Sat at the bar. There are small tables and a sushi bar available as well. No wait at all when we got there. Absolutely loved the service and the atmosphere. The food was amazing, large portions, great flavor. Little pricey, but very good quality and fresh food. Would highly recommend and return. Great area, walking distance to many other bars and restaurants.

So, this place is a good Noodle place. Food taste amazing and the service is pretty good. It can be a bit crowded at its busiest time. So eating at the bar top can be difficult when people keep bumping into you. I am sad that when you order a steam bun its only 1 pc, and it cost you 9 dollars. When other give you 4pc for 10 dollars. A little over kill, your good but your not that good. I get the chicken pieces for an appetizer, then had the new Birra Noodle. Pretty good, tip my hat for the chief making that. Your good taste of food and good service is what gives it a 4 out 5. Thank you for the food
Note: I forgot to take a picture before I got my sticky fingers into the chicken. Good crunch, I like it.

It’s hard to count how many times I’ve been to this bar — it’s truly one of my favorites. I especially love that they greet and farewell guests in Japanese, a beautiful tribute to a wonderful culture that sets the tone right away.
The ramen here is unforgettable. You always want to come back for more, especially with their perfectly seasoned eggs — absolutely addictive! Their tuna poke is also a must-try: the marinade is exceptional, a perfectly balanced mix of soy, sesame oil, and a little magic that makes every bite memorable.
I don’t even wonder why they’re not listed in any Austin ramen guides — they don’t need to be. Once you taste their food, you’ll never want to go back to other ramen spots (sorry, not sorry!).
Adore this place and highly recommend it.

The spicy vegan curry ramen is so good! It is the perfect combination of noodles, tofu, veggie toppings and the most flavorful broth.
Indoor seating is quite tight and there is typically a 15-30 minutes wait on weekends.
